DAVIS — The Davis Public Library will sponsor its teen book club on Jan. 24 from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, an award winning Oklahoma author, will be discussed and teens will also have the opportunity to watch the movie. This coming of age novel was first published in 1967 and writer, Hinton, was 15 when she first started writing the book. The story follows two rival groups, the "greasers" and the "socs," who are divided by their socioeconomic status.

This program, recommended for ages 11-18, is free and open to the public. Refreshments will also be served.

To check out a book or register for the event call Jana Lynn Rupe, Branch Manager at (580) 369-2468 or toll-free at (888) 520-8095. The Davis Public Library, located at 209 East Benton, is a branch of the Chickasaw Regional (Public) Library System.
